Cat6 & Cat6A
Solid-core copper rated for 1 to 10 Gbps, run cleanly through attics, walls, and chases.
Why Cabling Matters
Wireless lives on top of wired infrastructure.
Even the best mesh network is only as strong as the cabling that backs it. Access points connected with PoE Cat6 are faster, more stable, and easier to manage than wireless-only mesh nodes. The same goes for cameras, doorbells, and any device you want online for years instead of months. Cabling is invisible work — until you skip it. Then it becomes the most expensive part of the project to add back later.
Patch panels & racks
Every run terminated to a labeled keystone or patch panel, with a real home for the gear.
Low-voltage layout
Coordinated drops for access points, cameras, TVs, workstations, and future-proofed locations.
Certified terminations
Each run tested with a certified tester and documented in a wiring schedule you can keep.
What We Install
Cabling work we do week in and week out.
- New-construction pre-wire coordinated with builders during framing.
- Retrofit cabling through attics, soffits, closets, and existing chases.
- Access point Cat6 drops with PoE for whole-home and small-business Wi-Fi.
- PoE camera runs with weather-rated outdoor jacketing where required.
- Patch panel installation in a structured-media enclosure or rack.
- Network closet or rack build-outs with proper power, cooling, and cable management.
- Fiber runs for point-to-point uplinks between buildings or outbuildings.
- TV, workstation, and outlet drops for hardwired devices that should not live on Wi-Fi.
The Process
From rough-in to labeling and terminations.
Structured cabling is a multi-phase job. Pre-wire happens before drywall. Terminations and testing happen later, after the walls are closed and the equipment is on hand. Each phase is scheduled deliberately so nothing gets missed.
- Plan review. Walk the property — or the blueprints — and mark every drop location, panel location, and run path.
- Rough-in. Pull Cat6, Cat6A, or fiber to every planned location before drywall closes, leaving service loops at each end.
- Panel build. Install the structured-media enclosure or rack with proper power, grounding, and ventilation.
- Terminations. Punch down or terminate every run to keystones, patch panels, or jacks with consistent T568B color order.
- Certified testing. Test every run with a certified network tester and save the results in the project documentation.
- Labeling & handoff. Label both ends of every run, deliver a wiring schedule, and walk you through what is where.

Frequently Asked
Structured cabling, common questions.
What is structured cabling?
Structured cabling is a planned, labeled wiring system that terminates at a central panel or rack instead of point-to-point cables strung through walls. It is the foundation that everything else — Wi-Fi, cameras, smart home — runs on top of.
Cat6 or Cat6A — which should I use?
Cat6 is fine for most homes and small offices and supports 1 to 10 Gbps over typical run lengths. Cat6A is the right call when you know you will need 10 Gbps over longer runs or want extra margin for future upgrades.
Can you pre-wire a home that is still under construction?
Yes. New-construction pre-wire is one of our specialties. We coordinate with the builder during framing to install runs to every access point, camera location, TV, and workspace before drywall closes. See our builder services for details.
Do you install cabling in existing homes (no rough-in)?
Yes. Retro-fit cabling is most of what we do. We route through attics, soffits, closets, and chases, with minimal drywall work where possible. We tell you in advance where patching will be required.
Will you terminate to a patch panel and label everything?
Yes. Every run is terminated to a patch panel or keystone jack, tested with a certified network tester, and labeled at both ends. We hand you documentation so future work is straightforward.
